Vince Guaraldi didnt just score A Charlie Brown Christmas. He rewired holiday music forever. From jazz chords to cultural impact, the story is wild. zurl.co/fNTzb
Why 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' Is The Most Important Holiday Soundtrack of All Time (And How Vince Guaraldi Quietly Changed Everything) - That Eric Alper
There are holiday albums, there are holiday classics, and then there is Vince Guaraldi’s A Charlie Brown Christmas — the cozy, melancholic, jazz-soaked blanket that somehow makes the world feel both brighter and more reflective. It’s a soundtrack wrapped in brushed cymbals and children’s choir harmonies. And yes, Charles Schulz had to fight for it. […]

When rational people have to constantly refute patently false and inflammatory comments fatigue is normal.
So much is in the balance.
This struggle is the one by which American democracy will be measured.
It's ours to hold or lose.
If it's lost lifetimes will pass before it is recovered.

Sometime between the fall of 1963 and the late summer of 1964, the actor and photographer Dennis Hopper stopped at an intersection in L.A., took out his Nikon, and made history.

Today’s Canadian painting is “Summer Day” painted by Tom Thomson in 1915. Today is the sad anniversary of Thomson’s death in 1917. He is now one of Canada’s best-loved painters.

Next to your comrades in the National Fitness Program,
Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang,
Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter,
Showed no patience, tolerance, or restraint

I placed solidly in the bronze level 🤣🤣🤣

Growing up, I attended Sunday school every week. My teachers were Bill Watterson, Gary Trudeau, Berkeley Breathed, Charles M. Schulz, and Gary Larson. The best part was being able to show up in my pajamas and eat pancakes during class.
